Fireground Survival complete 🔥

Recruits worked through “Save Your Own” training, focusing on the skills needed when firefighters become trapped, disoriented, or separated in dangerous conditions.

Through limited visibility, entanglement, confined-space movement, and MAYDAY scenarios, they were challenged to stay calm, problem solve, and rely on their training.

This training builds the confidence and decision-making skills needed to stay safe, help one another, and continue serving the community as conditions change.

It’s not every day we get a call like this. 🦢

This morning, a Gilbert neighbor spotted a Great Egret stuck in a backyard tree and let the homeowner know, who was out of town. She called us, and our crews from Station 3 and Station 7 responded.

The tree hung over the water, which made the rescue tricky. Our crew got the egret down safely and found it was tangled in fishing line. We turned it over to animal rescue, and it is now being cared for at a wildlife rehabilitation center.

Whatever the call, Gilbert Fire and Rescue is ready to serve.

Charge into Fire Safety this Fire Prevention Week! 🔋

Lithium-ion batteries power more of our daily lives than ever, from e-bikes and scooters to the systems that keep our homes running. They make life easier, but a little extra care goes a long way toward keeping your family and home safe.

Swipe through for simple tips, and if you have a home battery system, take a minute to register it so our crews know what they're walking into if a fire ever happens.

Hazmat scene from above.

Around 4:15 p.m. on Oct. 5, our crews were dispatched to a reported commercial fire near McQueen and Guadalupe Roads. First-arriving units saw smoke and quickly upgraded the response to a working fire. After further investigation and a conversation with the reporting party, crews determined the situation was something different: a chemical mixture was producing a v***r cloud. Command quickly transitioned the incident to a hazardous materials call.

Drone footage gave crews an overhead perspective that was critical to assessing the incident. Hazmat teams applied water to suppress the cloud and had the spill contained in roughly an hour and a half. No evacuations were necessary, and no injuries were reported.

Thank you to our automatic aid partners, Phoenix Fire and Mesa Fire, for assisting with this incident.

Behind every car fire call is a rep just like this one. 🔥

Recruit Class 26-02 took on a vehicle fire prop, pulling a hose line and working together to extinguish the fire. Reps like this build the skills they'll need when it counts.

This is how the Gilbert Regional Academy prepares the next generation to protect our community.

Think you know when your kid can ditch the booster seat? Test yourself. 🚗

Today is National Seat Check Saturday, marking the end of Child Passenger Safety Week. Car seat safety doesn't stop once your child outgrows their car seat. The right fit changes as they grow, and a lot of parents don't realize their child still needs a booster well into elementary school.

Swipe through to see if you got the answers right, then try the 5-step seat belt test with your own kid.

Not sure if they're ready for the next step? Gilbert Fire & Rescue's certified technicians run a FREE Monthly Car Seat Clinic to check fit, seat, and readiness.

Yesterday, one of our crews had the chance to do something small that meant a lot.

Kaleb and his mom got a flat tire right outside Fire Station 6. She was ready to call roadside assistance, but Kaleb had a different idea: "Let's ask the firefighters."

Our crew was in the middle of physical training when Kaleb walked over and asked for help. Without hesitation, two firefighters came out to get the spare tire ready, then a third walked over and asked Kaleb if he knew how to change a tire. "No, sir, unfortunately, I do not," Kaleb admitted. Kaleb's mom shared that he'd always wanted to know how, and this was the perfect chance, so the firefighter told him, "Well, you are going to learn today!"

Our crew coached him through it step by step.

Way to go, Kaleb! We're glad we could help. 🙌
